I'm a size 14 and most of the clothes were in a size 8 or a size 10. It's become one of my most popular items. I started with a portfolio of around 20 items from my closet that I was happy to rent out. I'd love to wear them myself, but as a full-time mom, I don't do enough to wear these types of clothes. On Hurr, I rent items out for four days, and on By Rotation, I rent them out for three days.

Kym Wootton quit her six-figure job at a consulting firm to take a gap year. Before I quit to take a gap year, I'd been working since the day I turned 15 — I worked throughout high school. I'd felt that I was meant to be a novelist since I was a kid, but I never felt like that was a job path available to me. I was working a lot of hours, checking emails, and working on projects for my day job on the weekends. Afterward, I felt freer and more excited than I could have ever imagined — I knew I'd made the right decision.

Tamara Mayne started making candles as gifts for her family with a store-bought candlemaking kit. I thought: Why not try and make some extra cash from selling candles on the side? I also started selling on Scoutmob — a now defunct website where buyers could discover independent makers, while still selling on Etsy and Squarespace. After a few weeks of just selling candles, I decided to pick up some freelance art-directing work to cover the bills. Our candles cost between $28 and $38 because of our increased overhead, when I first started selling them I was charging only $16.

Jungmin Kang started making slime out of Elmer's glue and borax as a hobby when she was 13. I started making slime in 2017 when I was a 13-year-old middle schooler after watching a video on Instagram. I realized that you could easily make it with glue and slime activator, which is borax diluted in water. When Jungmin started high school, it became difficult to balance the business with her education. Being a business owner has taught me about persistenceWhen I started, some of my classmates called slime childish and ridiculous.

She quit her job at a bank to work as a domestic cleaner before training in the specialty. So in March 2019 I left my job, and in April I started working as a domestic cleaner, cleaning an office. When the pandemic hit, I also started working alongside the council doing COVID cleans. When the council offered me a cleaning job involving needles, I was terrified and turned it downI was always scared of injections. If a job is small and urgent, like cleaning a house after someone's been stabbed, I work on it alone.

Kelsey Clark became a professional dog walker after she quit a job at a veterinary clinic. When she came back, she needed a dog walker and asked whether I was available. If they get to a time when they're looking for a dog walker, they think of me. When people ask me what I do, they think it's a joke or that dog walking isn't a career you can make good money from.

Shakaila Forbes-Bell is a fashion psychologist who has worked with brands like Next and Depop.

Even the careers advisors at the job fair I went to after I finished my master's didn't have much knowledge about which jobs I could go into. On my Instagram account, I posted an image of me at my graduation, with the caption "first Black woman to get a degree in fashion psychology." She said that I'd substantiated fashion psychology as a real career.

Last year, selling his two Notion templates generated $1 million in revenue. I started my main YouTube channel in 2014 and started transitioning out of college-advice content. In 2021, I launched my first paid-for Notion template, "Creator's Companion," on Gumroad, an e-commerce platform for selling digital products. I have never marketed either of my paid Notion templates on my main YouTube channel. I think the people who copy templates don't understand the guts of them.

She told Insider she began sleeping terribly while working up to 14 hours in lockdown. My morning — and evening — routines used to be very different when I had insomnia in 2020. I like to say affirmations when I'm in a depressed mood — but when I'm feeling tired, breathing exercises help a lot. I start with more high-level strategic things, like reviewing the product roadmap — things that actually require a lot of brainpower. After three hours of this deep-focus time, I go out and walk my dog to make sure I'm getting enough exposure to light.
